Not in the real world. Only in scary right-wing panic land.
14 trillion = national debt
3.6 trillion - social security trust fund
4.0 trillion - Bush unfunded wars, unfunded Medicare Rx bill, other policies (ongoing expense)
3.0 trillion - Bush unfunded tax cuts (ongoing expense)
2.0 trillion - tax loss due to recession
1.4 trillion - Obama policies, temporary stimulus, etc (most paid back)
